You'll learn about how patients are selected, what tests involve, possible side effects and the benefits and risks of participating and so much more. It’s an informative session that will provide insights on whether participating in a research study or trial might be right for you.Marie Mejaki's empowering message is, if you are willing and able, get involved in research.
